man Id love a hot rod!!

I have alot of admiration and respect for the blokes who build these cars, I know quite a few people with them, and some builds have taken more than 10 years.

Also - if you want to see some nice rods - theres a hot rod show up at newcastle over this weekend

now - back to plates....

in NSW depending on plates - its like another 180 a year to like 400 a year on top of your rego - are they that important?

Well you can get away cheaper than that by using reproduced bodies and chassis. For example, the following site has bodies for around $8000-$9000 and chassis kits which includes lots of goodies (brakes, diff, suspension, steering etc) for around $12000. Obviously works out more expensive than the $15k, but in the end it would still be cheaper than the "rusty old shell".

but should i go to sell it down the track i would get a lot more for it if it was a steel shell, instead of glass. i have seen the glass shells before. one done up with the steel shell will sell for about $80k if done nicely.

That's what I've got, I have some good ideas for some plates I would get if I wanted to, up to 9 letters in WA FTW!! My state plates are half decent anyway, ends in 000 :( One of my mates ends in 033 on his, good timing or what?

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy

      I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.

      Do you still need the wiper motor and stuff?

      I haven't used the Crank Motorsport ones, but can I ask why not use standard gtr/gts4 axles at the front? They would easily cope with that power level. BTW.....sounds like quite the project!
